Analyze risks and work smart! Every
electrician on the job needs the User's Guide to Electrical PPE.
This full-color manual to Personal Protective
Equipment (PPE) is a "must" for the practicing electrical contractor
or electrician.
Based on NFPA 70E®:
Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace® and
written by Ray Jones, the top ranking expert in electrical safety,
User's Guide to Electrical PPE helps workers and
supervisors competently analyze risks and take the action needed to
avoid electrical contract injuries.
Be sure you can choose equipment that
will reduce or eliminate the risk of shock and electrocution, arc
flash, arc blast, and other hazards.
PPE goes beyond voltage-rated gloves, shoes,
and boots. In fact, author Ray Jones contends that any equipment
used to help recognize or evaluate a hazard is also Personal
Protective Equipment. In this must-have Guide, easy-to-understand
text explains potentially life-saving concepts such as:
- How protective clothing and tools work
together to create a barrier between workers and the identified
jobsite hazards
- How NFPA
70E and OSHA rules help employers and safety
directors comply with today’s worker safety requirements
An abundance of full-color photographs
illustrate equipment in a wide variety of work environments.
